The Justice (sic) Department official in charge of informing Congress about the newly reactivated Hillary Clinton email probe is a political appointee and former private-practice lawyer who kept Clinton Campaign Chairman John Podesta “out of jail,” lobbied for a tax cheat later pardoned by President Bill Clinton and led the effort to confirm Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

Ginsburg explains that Thorogood will submit a motion to transfer the charges against Nucky to federal court…once the case is before a federal court the Department of Justice will intervene and drop the charges due to insufficient time and resources….

Thorogood’s motion to transfer the charges to federal court is successful. Daugherty answers a call from Nucky and observes that Nucky sounds happy. Nucky jokes about the joy of becoming a federal defendant.(Like Hillary! cackling about the joys of being a Clinton)

CNN then reported the Kasich story — and used three reporters to do so.

They’re still plugging along, trying to push the old hag over the finish line, but you can tell they’re pretty demoralized.

Most people paying attention know their betters are not going to allow Brexit to succeed if they can help it. I know I expect the ‘negotiations’ to take a decade or more (mostly more), but this is ballsy.

In a major blow for Britain’s government, the High Court ruled Thursday that the prime minister can’t trigger the U.K.’s exit from the European Union without approval from Parliament.
